i had the same issue. I was the controlling type. He'd get paid and HAD to give me 150 minimum out of his check and he coule keep the rest. I took of the bills, groceries, accounts, etc. I still have no idea how much he spent on alcohol. And today i don't care because we're divorced and it does not affect my budget. But i can imagine that its a lot considerini he works a full time job and can hardly pay $450/month for rent.
